Tasting Notes

Loads of oak intermixed with plenty of black currant fruit, licorice, and incense jump from the glass of this flashy, rather ostentatiously styled Bordeaux. It is medium-bodied and spicy, with plenty of body, fruit, and depth. Drink it over the next decade.

Robert Parker, Wine Advocate (178), August 2008

Shows blackberry and currant aromas, with a hint of sweet tobacco. Full-bodied, with soft, silky tannins and a long, fruity finish. A pretty wine. Best after 2011. 50,355 cases made.

James Suckling, Wine Spectator, March 2008

Slightly leafy on the nose and even more so on the palate, but not at all green. Fresh with just the right fruit weight to support the structure - shows a welcome lightness of touch.
